[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Your child is going to have to deal with incompetence their whole life, whether it's a coworker, a boss, or one of their own employees. Getting used to working with a wide variety of people is a good thing.  You not bashing the teacher in front of your child will go a long way. Her communication style is just different. Truly it will benefit your child learning to work with this teacher. And in the meantime you're doing the right thing as far as tutors and extra help for your child.[/quote]

This is spot on. There will be situations in life where she just has to buckle down, do her own research, and get through it. The outcome may not be an A, but I bet she will learn a lot from the process. I'm sorry she has a bad teacher, but it's good practice for all the bad supervisors she'll have. [/quote]
For OP, yes, good advice. But given county advice to limit direct instruction on math generally (not just calculus), these may not be one-off occurrences. It's the younger teachers (who OP's child has) that are most likely to be following the guidance because they don't know otherwise and are still trying to establish themselves at the school and don't want to be marked down early in their careers.
